Turning Your Loft into a Guestroom

By admin, on April 21st, 2011

Expanding into your loft is an excellent way to make the most of your house and avoid costly and disruptive moves. One of the best things to put in your loft is a guest bedroom as you will be able to set up a double bed in a quiet environment away from the hustle and bustle of your home. Luckily, this conversion is not very hard to do.

First of all, you need to evaluate the size of your loft to see if it can fully accommodate a double bed and a bit of furniture. There is no point creating a cramped guest room, so only undertake this if you feel you can get the bed in as well as a few bits and pieces. With this extra space you can get a couch, a chair and a makeup table in to complete the room.

Next be sure to bring a builder in to do some work. You can do some of the labour for a loft conversion yourself, yet if you want to make it suitable for guests it is best to go with a professional. You want this area to be one of the most pleasant parts of the house so invest in good materials and spend some time applying a nice layer of paint.

Finally, be sure to keep children and pets out of this area – the best part of a guest room is that you can put people in there at a moment’s notice. Keeping your kids and pets out of there will ensure the room is always sparkling – so block off the loft and leave the room ready for guests.

Turning your loft into a guestroom is an excellent way to make the most of the space in your house. With a bit of work you can create a beautiful area free from the clutter of everyday living and removed from the noise of your home. If you bring in a builder you should have no problem executing this loft conversion.
